Will a 3tb WD hdd fit in a hot swap bay?

barterking85 · Jul 19, 2014

I just ordered 2 single bay hot swap racks here is the link
http://kingwin.com/products/cate/mobile/racks/kf_1000_bk.php#overView-tab

It says it fits standard 1" drives. I am unsure of the thickness of the 3tb wd drives. I know the 2tb fits for sure but unsure on the 3tb.

Please shed some light.

The physical dimensions of a 3.5" HDD remains the same regardless of capacity. The HDD should fit in there no problem.

Thanks I wanted to make sure before i took apart my WD 3tb external drive. Any idea on the drive color inside the WD 3tb my book? thinking green but not sure.

It would seem WD isn't giving out that information, I found nothing on their pages that would even isolate it down to a few models - I'd be interested to know (I'm gonna guess blue since you already took green). I have no clue though.
